I have no idea if the base system in stable/8 will work with the version in ports but still that doesn’t solve the issue one might have merging code that expects binutils 2.17.1+ and that will therefore break the tinderbox. >> I would really suggest people move on to at least stable/9 which has all >> the clang cleanups and should be functionally much better. > > Clang/LLVM is a nuisance to build, which is one of the reason to avoid 9+ > on my rusty laptop.

You can disable building clang in /etc/src.conf, and I actually do that when testing crossbuilds. Pedro.help
